Why does the Big Ten get so much more love than the ACC? At the top anyway. It seems to me VA Tech should be in the conversation for a top seed.

btw, Some of the best former Midwest high school talent will be on display today in the SEC final:

Zia (OH), Brea (IL), Fletcher (MI), Horston (OH), Rickea (MI)

Bayou Barbie not nominated for The Wooden Award.

Mulkey said it was for non basketball reasons. She immediately was asked if she was academically eligible. She replied “Of course she is.” Makes me wonder if she HAD to leave Maryland.

Candidate Criteria
All candidates must have a cumulative 2.00 grade point average since enrolling in their current university. Candidates must exhibit strength of character, both on and off the court. Candidates should be those who contribute to team effort. Candidates must excel in both offense and defense.

Some LSU fans are saying this was a bad call. But look at our players in the background. Aliyah is shocked, Watkins and Chloe are making calls for the refs.

We should be fine. Raven is ready for the moment and we have backups in LA and Zia. Tennessee used a lot of energy to get back in that game and we rested players. I think we'll win the game and we'll have a rested and healed Fletcher for the tournament.

Well, portal season has officially started!

I don’t think where Kennedy lands will have an impact on Jaloni’s choice but who knows. This move reminds me that portal is not just addition but could mean huge talent exodus.

The SEC is in such flux. The only teams entering next season with an abundance of talent are us and LSU. Everyone has pieces but really needs help to a pretty significant extent. UT & UK are in a portal or see a huge drop off.

Dawn said post game that she was leaving for a 2-3 day recruiting trip out West. Any ideas about who she is looking to see?

Not a lot of suspense for us. The wait for the tourney field for the rest of wbb fans must be agonizing.

Charlie Creme currently has Utah as the 2 seed in our regional. That was my thought as well last night.

LSU and UCONN have been hovering around the overall #8 overall spot, but I don't see the committee putting either of those teams in our regional (LSU can't be since we are in the same conference, I believe. Someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Maryland is a possibility. I tend to think, however, they are closer to the 1 line than the 3 line.

Doesn't leave many other possibilities besides the Utes.

Oooh I wonder who she is going to visit?

I don’t necessarily feel that Jaloni will choose a school based on her sister but I could see Kim Mulkey scooping her up in hopes of landing Jaloni as well. Jaloni currently shows a ton of love to us and LSU on social media.

my predictions for the final 1 thru 8 Sunday night

1/ SC
2/ Indiana
3/ UConn (with a BE tourney championship - also sets up a potential final game rematch)
4/ Iowa
5/ Virginia Tech
6/ Stanford
7/ Maryland
8/ Utah

LSU feels like overall 10 to me . also if Crème’s bracket prediction for the Gamecocks is close to correct, go ahead & book your flight to Dallas today.

let’s see how close I am ✌️

Morgan Cheli, perhaps?

I typically don't follow WBB until late season going into tourny season. This team looks dang near unbeatable. I don't know how you deal with Boston, Cardoso, Cooke, Beal, Fletcher and Amirhere. That's a lot of length to deal with on it's own. But then add a backcourt of Cooke/Beal/Fletcher.

I know Cardoso isn't a starter per se. But when she's on the floor we just look unstoppable on the floor. It's impressive to watch.

They typically try to avoid having conference opponents face each other before the elite eight. So technically they could be our 2 seed but I highly doubt they would.

The Big10 and probably the PAC 12 will likely have Numerous top 4 seeds so more than likely we will probably be paired with one those schools like a Utah or a Maryland so they don't meet with one of their conference foes.

I was so proud of her against Arkansas. She just disappears against more physical teams :(
Thankfully, Cardoso came off the bench and dominated the paint yesterday. Brea also stepped up the physicality in the 2nd half, grabbing 8 rebounds. (To give some contrast: Brea grabbed 6 defensive rebounds in one half; VS had only 3 defensive rebounds the entire tournament). Saxton is an asset against finesse teams, no doubt. The concern is Dawn gives her guaranteed minutes as a starter. With bench players, coach has a bit more leeway in minutes distribution.

But is there a team capable of making us pay? Both Stanford and Tennessee had early double digits leads on us this season and couldn't hold it. I'm starting to feel this team will find a way to win no matter how difficult the scenario.
